Evidence-Based Strategies for Healthcare Providers to Live Well + Work Well

Victoria Rodriguez, PhD, LPC

BOOK VICTORIA

Medical-Trauma Informed Care for Confidence + Wellness

A medical-trauma informed practice means your chronically ill patients leave your clinic feeling safe, but most importantly: They leave with a clear plan to come back.

Through a medical-trauma informed lens, Victoria provides audiences with new ways of thinking about wellness combined with real-time practice of psychological tools for your patients AND yourself as a provider.

Topics

For your hospital, clinic, group practice, agency, university and more

  • Patients who experience a traumatic health event are more likely to qualify for a medically-related PTSD diagnosis and are more likely to disengage from treatment. A foundation in medical-trauma informed care can help your team address medical PTSD confidently and effectively.

  • Exposure to workplace medical trauma and medical trauma narratives, as is the case in many medical and mental health settings, can result in chronic burnout for providers.

    Training in strategies for burnout prevention can prevent staff overturn, improve job satisfaction, and ultimately improve patient care.

  • While you may have been taught suppressing emotions as a sign of strong leadership and clinical professionalism, emotional resilience can also mean leveraging your emotional intelligence to help you make better decisions and lead from a place of regulation. This interactive session allows you to re-write the narrative on emotional resilience so you can leave with practical psychological tools to challenge your emotional beliefs and ground yourself in your emotional wisdom as a decision-maker in healthcare.

“Lived Experience Meets Clinical Practice: Supporting Chronically Ill Clients”

Victoria Rodriguez

The Chronic Illness Therapists Conference, Atlanta, GA

  • "Victoria did a great job making the training engaging and applicable to the work our clinicians do every day. She took the time to understand our agency's needs and incorporated those into the training rather than delivering a one-size-fits-all presentation. The information was useful for staff at different levels of experience, and she did a good job balancing discussion, examples, and practical guidance. Our team walked away with tools they can immediately apply in their work with clients.."

    — Supervisor, Start Corporation

  • "Every part of this workshop has been valuable. Victoria is very thorough and provides excellent information that makes what she is presenting sound easy and "do-able" without the anxiety and stress that comes along with it.."

    — Audience Member

  • "I've attended other presentations of Victoria's before, and she's one of the few presenters who is able to hold my attention the entire time. It's the closest I feel to being in an in-person training event. I feel like she really cares about our feedback, what we're learning, and any questions we have."

    -Audience Member

  • "Victoria made very important points that vicarious trauma is not dealt with effectively by helpers. It’s a reminder that I have to be well to serve my clients."

    — Audience Member

  • "I believe and it was one of my favorite trainings! You're one of the few trainers who provides tangible tools and it's such an important and necessary topic to address. Thank you!"
